My NaNoWriQua project

[satyapriya]

Okay, so I gave myself until Xmas Eve to write 50,000 words. I was going very well, 490 words a day, having fun. Then some personal life stuff rose up and smote me. 4 days behind, little enthusiasm to catch up. I made an attempt last night, did about 600 words, but I seem reduced to the shorthand version of my writing. "Character X gets phone call, and next thing is in Cape Canaveral, ready to blast off into outer space". Er, hmmm, not quite how I thought that scene would go. I sort of thought there would be a bit more detail, a bit more invention. A few more words at least.
I'm in the doldrums and not even up to 10,000 words yet.
